Data Collection- Consumer Involvement

When creating videos with participants, the ‘I am’ Digital Stories process requires consideration of two central points: firstly, the inherently personal nature of the material used to create the Stories and secondly, that the participants or storytellers have agreed for people to view their Stories. The ‘I am’ Digital Stories are co-constructed with people whose voices may be marginalised from research. Consequently, one of the main roles of the researcher is to support storytellers to share their own views and experiences as much as possible.
